Staff Product Manager, Legal Data
About the role
Your Impact DISCO is building AI that litigators can rely on during live matters. That reliability comes down to the legal information underneath it — whether the case law, dockets, and source materials are complete, accurate, and current, and whether a lawyer can trust what the system tells them about the record. You will own that. As a lawyer technologist on our unified litigation platform product team, you will set DISCO’s legal data strategy and carry it through: what we cover, how we judge quality, and how we keep both improving as the product moves from pilot to general availability. You will work directly with litigators at design‑partner firms, translate what you hear into product priorities, and partner with engineering and AI teams to build it. This role exists because the judgment it requires is legal judgment. Whether a cited case actually stands for the proposition. Whether a holding has been characterized correctly. Whether a source is authoritative for the question being asked. That comes from practice, which is why we are hiring a lawyer or product manager with deep legal experience rather than a generalist product manager.
Responsibilities
- Own DISCO’s legal data strategy. Define our approach to legal information coverage, quality, and reliability across DISCO’s AI‑powered products, and carry it from definition through execution.
- Turn litigation workflows into product priorities. Assess what practitioners actually need from source materials across key litigation workflows, and translate that into clear, actionable priorities the team can build against.
- Partner across the company. Work with Engineering, AI, Design, and Commercial Strategy teams to design and ship initiatives that help practicing lawyers in meaningful ways.
- Build processes that scale. Establish repeatable ways to evaluate, organize, and maintain legal information, and keep improving coverage, quality, and usability as we grow.
- Decide with evidence. Bring data to prioritization calls, and find the operational improvements in how legal information gets managed.
- Keep leadership close to the truth. Communicate progress, tradeoffs, risks, and dependencies clearly to senior stakeholders — including when the news is inconvenient.
Requirements
- A former lawyer, legal professional, or product manager experienced with legal workflows.
- 5+ years of experience navigating complex U.S. legal or compliance matters.
